Hi Chris,
Do you still keep your factory breather? Would you sell it to me?

All good advice.
I'd just add the obvious. If the breather in your diff banjo is blocked, no
amount of machining, aligning and seal replacement will keep the oil in.
So first off, pull/ unscrew the breather - usually a "top hat" shaped thing -
off the axle banjo, and clean it.
Personally, I take the factory breather off, and fit a reasonably solid wall
clear plastic tube, and run it up high, and back down, usually into the boot.
Where it can breath, and no get crap into it.
I also run the Chicago Rawhide seals. Last part number I have for a 3000
(seal
only) is Z1091. (CR 20191)
Best
Chris
